LOL, for those put off by these CG still frames you really need to see the explosions... some are just funny bad. Worst CG I've ever seen though? No, I wouldn't go that far. Beautiful in any sense? No, definitely not. I think if you think of this as the first few episodes of a TV show rather than a movie you won't be so let down by the CG. If you think of this as the first few episodes from a late 90s TV show it pretty much fits right in. Have the reviews really been that bad? From my casual surfing the reviews actually seem to be much better than I expected. Heck, Keith didn't throw up in his DVD case and then put it in the bathroom next to his copy of Space Gandam. I consider that a ringing endorsement!

I'm curious, does Maia ever even say her last name? I remember when I was watching it I was wondering if anyone would ever reference her parents but it seemed to me they went out of their way not to. Also, all we know of are Maia, Dana, Max, and Miriya, that's not a whole army... my family is that size too . A lot of people here have complained about Space Station Liberty being blown up. Why? I thought it worked fine for a plot point. I agree with Arkany about how silly the whole "PROBLEM WITH THE MISSILES" was and how we never learned what it was. Seems to me that the inclination though is that they're far more destructive then anticipated and had they been used the Earth forces would have destroyed themselves with the planet. Since they are so awesomely destructive Vince is able to use one to blow up (an apparently very slow moving) Haydonite fleet. I got lots of issues with the film though but I think most mine are quasi-fanboy-related. The Betas not being as cool as they should be, the Betas not separating as Arkany pointed out, the lack of Southern Cross anything (other than Louis), the lack of the cooler Invid mechs, the re-writing of the battle at Reflex Point.

I put a review up on my site. Haven't had time to put up pics yet. It's pretty wordy . Feel free to lambast!

Hey guys, I'm watching it now and there is definitely one scene where to Cyclones transform on screen. It takes exactly .25 seconds and it happens mid jump from one level in space station liberty to the next.

Zinjo, doesn't the new copyright mean that something more than a game is coming? That's an honest question, I thought the copyright indicators always indicated new animation judging from the other years referenced.

My vote for Wave3: VF-1D AngelBirds CannonFodder

1st Border, I think they want to (myself included) see the Haydonite mechs.

Well, I didn't spell it genius so you might say it's actually clever word play... or you might say it's the last name of a prominent Macross family. Honestly, I have no recollection of what you're talking about. Ah, could that be because you started by insulting every member of Robotech.com... of which I am also a member? LOL, and you know what, even though you did that, I didn't attack your review, I merely suggested ways in which you could P-off the people at RT.com more by bringing more valid arguments. I was pretty clearly talking about what HG was capable of... You picked on them for not having more money, I pointed out that it may not have been readily available... If you want to take that as a slight on yourself, be my guest. While I have found all of your subsequent posts openly hostile, I assure you my telling you that your review would have likely brought more outrage from those "humanoid-like Robotechies" if you had actually brought more to the table was not a slight on you, just advice on how to invoke more of a response. You expressed disbelief that "Robotechies" weren't hounding you for what you said, I instructed you on how to make it more a topic of conversation.

Who's bashing? It's okay for you to criticize a movie but you don't like having your criticism criticized? It wasn't even harsh, I was telling you to go for the jugular.

So the chicks in spandex with giant breasts alone is enough for you not to watch it. Interesting.... I'm just playin', RT chat on an MW board is fun. Me thinks you are VASTLY over-estimating Robotech's CULT following. Yes, it's larger than some cult followings, but it ain't huge. I assure you, it's financiers who are afraid of spending which makes HG unable to spend. The franchise was dead for a decade for a number of reasons (such as Matchbox, their original financier pulling out, the YEN/Dollar conversion). I remember when the RT game came out, it was reviewed by G4 and the intro was "Do you care about 20 year old cartoons? Neither do we!"

LOL, I haven't seen it yet but Night Stalker, your criticisms seem a bit shallow. You don't like the character designs or outfits, that's fine. You didn't like how little Rick was there but they're obviously trying to move on from the original cast and use the original cast as bait. Being pissed because HG didn't have enough money to make some blockbuster amazing film is like making fun of poor kids for not having designer jeans. You can do, but what are you accomplishing? No Sir, if you want to write a real scathing review, and it sounds like you do, you gotta attack the bread and not the butter. The fact we don't see a Cyclone transform seems ticky tacky for those of us who haven't seen it (it might become readily apparent that they did everything to avoid it and seem more jarring for those who have actually viewed it). No... go after the WRITING to destroy a film. Make fun of nonsensical elements. Tell me about the part where the main character escaped on a flying rock. Tell me about how a pilot who was lost in space was discovered because of a new technology that found sound energy in the cosmos. That's the kind of stupidity you have to nail. Bad outfits are par for the SciFi course.

Man, now I wanna dig up my pic of mine hugging a beer can. Good work, I'm sure you'll have a ton more fun with that toy now than you could ever have with a stock one.

The only problem with that variation is that you can't pose that portion of the leg forward for a super aggressive GERWALK stance like the VF-1 poses in.

Man, if you guys didn't watch the last episode of MacZero you missed some pretty cool action. Yeah, the ultimate ending is a bit... open to interpretation... but the action is pretty cool.

isn't it crazy how easy the knee mod is and what a huge difference it makes?? It's almost like Bandai sabotaged themselves when they made the toy... it makes no sense at all. Looks much cleaner than mine!

Ooh, parallel to M7 and knocks M7 into a parallel universe a la M2!

Can they finally make the biege/orange Martian LV that I've been begging for? Jeesh, sometimes I think Yamato doesn't listen to me at all. Oh.. wait... I think the next time I'm bored I'm gonna photo-shop my martian LV.

IIRC - if i recall correctly Kitbash - someone took various model kits and "bashed" them into one new unique model.

Now I believe you're likely correct but... How unencumbered do you expect a girl in her first year of junior high school to be? Also, do you think the ads for the men state they must be single and unmarried to be in the film? LOL, I'm not trying to argue anything here, I just think there's some humor in the ad.

I'm not sure I'm following perfectly, but for mine I think I had to mod both the piece your showing in tape and the piece above it for lack of clearance after you add the mobility to the lower assembly. So, the intake (hip) hangs over the thigh so if you mod the thigh it still can't move because of the hip. So, after you mod the thigh you also need to mod the hip (well, that's how I remember it, hopefully I'm wrong because that's where things got awfully nasty).

LOL, why does the actress need to be single? What the heck are they going to make her do to get this job??

LOL, I destroyed a gun trying to make it collapsible. It's definitley "ambitious" especially since the width of the leg wouldn't really accomodate it either. I didn't even touch the hip area you're starting with. Looks like a good start. The most dreaded area I modded are the blue pegs that come up from either leg to connect to the thigh. That's the area that required my cutting and warping black pieces of plastic and the parts that eventually broke free when poor Humpty fell.

I'll tell you this much, you're already off to a much better start than I was by having much better tools. Graham should also be a lot of help here, he has at least one custom VF-17.

Wow, I've never been so stoked to read absolute gibberish! I mean that seriously.
